For a quick ID on channel/blues, the anal fin on an blue cat is 'straight edged' and has 30 or more anal rays. The channel has a more 'rounded' anal fin with 24 to 29 anal rays. Large, adult male channels often are mistaken for a blue because they tend to take on a cobalt blue coloration, especially during the spawn, and develop a swollen head. Although the anal fin is partially covered by the anglers hand, I would venture that it is a fine channel cat, as the anal fin appears to be rounded. I don't know if blues have yet migrated from the James to the Albemarle region yet. I do know they are in the Piankitank system.

Nice fish BTW!

I thought it was a Blue Cat but sometimes it's hard to tell.....this river has both.....
